Observation details
A stunning look at a bird on a nest which was visited by another carrying one sand eel. Then the chick came out from under the incubating adult and jumped into the water to be fed by the other adult. The chick then struggled for 15 minutes or so to get back on land and into the nest, but once it did the adults changed guard. The adult that was previously incubating was now in the water and it took off towards the voe/ocean.
